A business can affect a country and its economy not just though direct financial effects. Businesses are a part of the society around them and the ethical practices and considerations of a business can have a huge effect on a country’s economy. This book is designed for use by academics, researchers, post-graduate students and professionals; each chapter is written by a top researcher in journal article style format. The contributors explore business ethics in both emerging and advanced economies. Specific topics covered include business education, business ethics, business strategies, and corporate sustainability, among others. Also included are case studies that consider interdisciplinary perspectives on business management.

The authors and editors of this volume have made an impressive contribution to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) literature by integrating research from different cultures and various types of organizations. Given the diverse approaches to the CSR topic, several different research methodologies are employed, and data in the chapters is nicely summarized in both qualitative and quantitative terms. One of the most impressive features of the book is the varying “levels of analysis” across the topics. [...] this book offers both a broad analysis of the CSR literature and practices from many parts of the globe, but it is well documented to also serve as a reference regarding the development of this field.
